Hello, bonjour, nei-ho, and ciao Nylonettes!! Cover stars Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen (for NYLON Guys) star in the new movie Jumper, which I checked out over the weekend. It was worldly eye candy for a xenophile like myself — I highly recommend it for fans of adventure and culture. Besides feasting on grand panoramic views of Egypt, Paris, Rome, the Arctic, Hong Kong, and New York City, UK-based actor Jamie Bell was the film’s additional sweet bonus as a wise-cracking confidant-cum-villain. Intense!!

Anyway, real-life fashion darling Bilson doesn’t get much of a wardrobe in Jumper, but the name of the movie got me thinking of a different kind of jumper….the jumper dress!! By definition, a jumper dress is meant to be worn over a shirt but nowadays you can nix the top and still serve a jumper’s purpose of making someone look precious and adorable. And we all know that Rachel B. knows a thing or two about layering dresses over tanks and tees! So now let’s hop around to some online retailers and take a look at some cute jumpers (most of which are now on sale) that you can add to your spring closet.

The ladies of Mooka Kinney are not only the loves of our lives, but they sure know how to make whimsical retro-vintage-print jumpers. www.mookakinney.com

We also can’t get enough of Urban Outfitters! Here’s one from Lux. www.urbn.com

I love Built By Wendy’s wool and denim jumpers from last season (so very on sale, fyi). www.builtbywendy.com

From www.bluefly.com… this white jumper dress is from Velvet. The one underneath that is from buttery soft C&C California.

And you can’t overlook the overwhelmingly amazingness that is www.shopbop.com. This frock comes from L.A.M.B. I especially love the slight bubble hem and the big pockets. This one just looks really comfortable to wear.

Finally, I leave you with Urban Outfitter’s sister company Free People. This one is neat because it’s like a cable knit sweater but looks thin enough so it won’t feel bulky. www.freepeople.com

Later, jumpers!!
